I (your InterCom editor) remember one day in college when a Spanish professor dedicated the last part of a class to teaching us naughty words. Those who didn’t want to hear were free to go, and the rest of us stayed on for a dispassionate presentation of sexual and scatological words in Spanish with their closest English equivalents.

If you are looking for a list of dirty words in the world’s languages, carefully organized by language family and sub-family, try the Alternative Dictionaries website: http://www.alternative-dictionaries.net
